I don't care about php.ini-dist, but I do think there is something useful in knowing that our tests validate under php.ini-recommended. If that's the configuration that we're putting forth as "the way to do it," we should make sure everything runs correctly with those settings. > In short, I just want to know why run-tests.php needs an external > dependency on php.ini-dist.

We could probably make sure run-tests.php had the same default settings as php.ini-recommended (and overrode them when necessary to test alternate configurations), but if we always use the actual php.ini-recommended file from the distribution, we don't need to worry about the two becoming out of sync. I can see the niceness of having run-tests.php operate as a standalone. For me, I guess it comes down to when we expect people to be running the tests without us having access to php.ini-recommended and if those instances are worth a possible mis-snyc with the file itself. -adam -- PHP CVS Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
